Has Anyone Seen the President?

In "Has Anyone Seen the President?" Michael Lewis details some experiences with the Trump administration. Trump holds grudges, and will not listen to anybody that has "wronged" him, even if they later apologize. (An example was given of a reporter that criticized Trump for removing the statue of a civil rights leader, only to apologize when he learned the statue was simply moved. Trump also does not care about the Democrats. In speaking, he attempts to solidify his base and win over the conservative media. In spite of his wealth and education, Trump speaks like a poor laborer. This helps him to relate to the lower classes, which helped him win the presidency. His presidency has defied many of the conventions of politics, which has continued to motivate his supporters, even as the world reacts in horror.
